Random Ramblings from April the 16th

     It's snowing today, and has been ever since about 7 this morning. Tom says it's supposed to keep snowing until 8 this evening, so church for tonight was cancelled. That's all I will say on the subject of the weather and our feelings in relation to it. ☺
     I hustled myself and my baby girl out the door this morning to do our errands in town before the roads got worse. I should be able to stay home for the next few days now, as long as I don't run out of diapers and wipes. I do realize that I am kind of a numskull  for forgetting to stock up on such important items.
      Today at Walmart I took advantage of their claim to match any ad. I feel like I'm being a big pain on the rare occasions when I do it, but since we don't have a lot of different options for grocery stores here in town, it's a way to get the good deals other stores are offering. And after you get past feeling like a pain, it feels good to save money! ☺
   Last night Zoey took almost forever to go to sleep. She wasn't particularly fussy, just wiggly and unsettled. I would sing and pat and jostle and just when I thought she was out, her eyes would pop wide open as if she wasn't even the least bit sleepy. I think that was the last time I will drink a caffeinated drink for supper...apparently it affects her! #mommaproblems However, there was that sweet moment when I put my hand on her tummy to calm her, and one of her little hands wrapped around my pinky finger and the other gripped my thumb, and I remembered what a gift it is to have this little girl in my life. #mommajoys
    I started a Mixbook with Zoey's baby pictures, and am having so much fun with it that I keep getting distracted from my other work. You know, the boring stuff like laundry and baking.  

     (If this has intrigued you, and you'd like to start a Mixbook of your own, use the link below to get $20 off your first order!)

     A bird just crashed into the living room window...it's the second time that has happened this afternoon. I think it's a robin... probably blinded by a snowflake in its eye.☺
